Hydrocarbon
DensityFrequently, in cases where gas is indicated from neutron and density
logs, it is advantageous to know the actual value of the hydrocarbon
density and to distinguish gas from light oil. The procedure is
as follows:

COMMENTS:Some analysts prefer to use DENShmin as the final DENShy value,
or may prefer to weigh the minimum and maximum values differently
than shown above. This calculation should not be attempted in
bad hole conditions where density data is suspect.
